Steps:
- Soften gelatin in cold water. Cook egg yolks, 1/4 cup sugar, salt and milk or cream over hot water until custard coats the spoon. Stir constantly. After removing from heat add softened gelatin. Stir in molasses. Let the mixture congeal, (about as thick as egg white). Make a meringue of the remaining sugar and egg whites. Fold in the custard mixture along with coconut and extract. Pour in cold, baked pie crust. Sprinkle with coconut. Chill.
- Serve with whipped cream.
Tips:
- Use fresh coconut: Fresh coconut meat gives the pie a more intense coconut flavor. If you can't find fresh coconut, you can use unsweetened shredded coconut, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
- Chill the pie before serving: This helps the pie to set and makes it easier to slice. You can chill the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Serve the pie with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream: This adds a touch of sweetness and richness to the pie.

Coconut chiffon pie is a light and fluffy pie with a delicious coconut flavor. It's the perfect dessert for any occasion. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
